Harcup and o'neill 2001 values of a news story
You're referring to the seminal work by W. Harcup and D. O'Neill, "What is a News Story?" (2001).
In this article, Harcup and O'Neill proposed a framework for analyzing the values embedded in news stories. They identified 12 values that are commonly present in news stories, which they categorized into three groups:
Group 1: Human Values
- Human interest: stories that focus on individual people and their experiences
- Human rights: stories that highlight issues related to human rights and social justice
- Human dignity: stories that promote respect and dignity for all individuals
Group 2: Social Values
- Social justice: stories that highlight issues related to social inequality and injustice
- Social cohesion: stories that promote unity and social harmony
- Social change: stories that highlight the need for change and progress
Group 3: Institutional Values
- Authority: stories that promote the authority and legitimacy of institutions and leaders
- Legitimacy: stories that legitimize the actions of institutions and leaders
- Power: stories that highlight the power and influence of institutions and leaders
Harcup and O'Neill's framework has been influential in the field of journalism studies, and their values have been applied in various research contexts to analyze the content and themes of news stories.
It's worth noting that their framework is not exhaustive, and other researchers have proposed additional values or modified the original framework to suit their specific research purposes. Nonetheless, Harcup and O'Neill's work remains a foundational contribution to the study of news values and their significance in shaping the content of news stories.
